BOSTON AS AN EyICTRR.

The city of Boston is just now figuring as
an evicter, and in way that seems very
harsh to many. On one of the islands in
a number of worthy people, destroying their
houses and exposing their furniture and
property to the chances of the weather
These people are of Portuguese origin. Some
of them came to settle upon the island about
forty years ago. They bought little plots of
land, built houses, cheap and slight, but
comfortable enough, and made their living
by catching Holsters. They were Industrious,
quiet and thrifty, and have increased in
numbers and f1ourished in their modest way
until now. The city of Boston bought part
of the island as site for public charitable
institution. The island is large enough to
afford reasonably spacious grounds for the
institution without encroachipg upon the
village of the fisher folk, but the city author
tiles determined to take the whole, and so
by the exercise of the right of eminent do
main they have proceeded in the legal way
to acquire title to the land occupied by the
Portuguese lobster catchers.
Many of the people of Massachusetts are
indignant over their performance. Their
feeling is expressed by the Worcester Spy as
follows: They (the evicted) are ignorant,
bewildered by their misfortune, and do not
know how to avail themselves of their legal
rights. Their property has been valued at a
much lower rate than the city paid for the
part of the island which it bought by bar
gain with the owner, and no allowance has
been made for the loss of their occupation,
nor for the special hardship of leaving it now
at the season when it is most profitable.
Altogether these poor people seem to have
had hard usage, and deserve sympathy and
aid quite as much as other unfortunates who
receive it more freely. 1t seems also some
what out of character for O'Briens and Ma
guires to be directing evictions and tearing
down the humble cabins of these poor ten
ants of one of the richest and most charitable
cities of the United States.
Boston used to be noted for taking the
part of the poor and the oppressed. But
times have changed since Boston was the
headquarters of the friends of the slaves.

is not at all strange that it should now be
compelled to call upon its stockholders for
an assessment of $500, 900.
In his address at the annual meeting of the
British Medical association recently in Dub
lin DR.. J. T. Banks, the president of the
society, said that the association now num-
bered nearly $4,000 members, and referred
to the position of women in the medical pro-
fession. Last year the degree of B. A. was
conferred on nine women, four of them tax
ing honors. The degree of Master of Arts
was conferred on lady, an event unprece-
dented in university annals. The university
was bound to admit women. With respect
to the expediency of women entering the
medical profession, this was a question which
he abstained from discussing. The Royal
university had no discretion in the matter,
and the Colleges of Physicians and Surgeons
had voluntarily thrown open their doors, and
afforded them every possible facility. There
was great field open to medical women in
India, where millions of their own sex de-
clined to admit the ministrations of men.

THE PoPE,S EXCLUSION.
Personal Habits of Leo XIII.-His
Friendship for the Fine Arts.

Personal Habits of Leo XIII.-Hie
Friendship for the Fine Arts.
[From the Berlin Boersen Courierl
Few persons whom fate has raised to SO
high rank love seefusion so much as the
successor of Plus TX, who was never averse
to cheerful surroundings
Leo XIII is rarely seen in his reception
robes; still more difficult is it to observe him
tn his house dress. The seclusion in which
he dwells is easily accounred for-frst by his
naturally retiring ways and secondly by the
fact that his devotion to all the affairs that
claim his attention leaves him absolutely no
time for visitors. Monsignor Della Volpe,
the successor of iaehi as Maestro de Camera
must bear the brunt of the general dissatis-
faction engendered by the scarcity of admIs-
sions to Papel audience, and yet he is pow
erless to remedy the evil. Leo XIII, who
sits constantly before his artistically carved
writing desk. hidden behind heap of books,
diplomatic letters and newspapers, rarely al
lows himself to be interrupted in his work
in order to listen to the timid petitions of
his Maestro di Camera, and contents himself
with proving to him that he has no time to
lose.
He has not yet become convinced that
general blessing Will satisfy MS VlsltOrS, ana
therefore when he grants an audience to
twenty OF thirty persons he considers him-
self obliged to take special interest in each
individual. He asks questions and gives adj
vice, all of which tires him very much and
rebs him of many a precious hour. There
fore he ressts as long as possible before
yielding to the necessity of appearing in the
reception hall, between two noble guards
and accompanied by the Monsignor Partc-
pante, whose Office is to introduce those who
have come to be presented to the holy father.
Another class OF persons who, with the
best of intentions, give the Pope much
trouble are the mediocre artists. Leo XIII.
is great admirer of the fine arts. On his
way to the gardens he often stops in the hall
OF the candelabri, in the Vatican museums,
descends from his chair and remains several
minutes surrounded by his palfrenieri in
gazing at the ceiling. which is being painted
at his expense by Salty. He inquiries about
the progress of the painting, asks those
around him for their opinion concerning the
work, and has repeatedly ordered very costly
details to begin anew, in order to make them
more worthy of himself and the apostolic
palace. But surrounded as he is by master
pieces of art, how many Incredible pictures,
what abortive portraits must he see, bless
and accept as tokens of veneration! Leo
XIII. is hard to please in artistic matters; he
is rarely satisfied with his portraits, and
even Lenbach could not succeed in thor
oughly pleasing him.

The Socialists don't think Henry George is
very consistent. They are remarking that
in January, 1881, he made an address before
the Spreadssthe Light club in Brooklyn in
which he said: Mankind must rise to some
system of cooperation or 60 down to anarchy.
Our civilization must mount up to the ideal
of the Socialists; it must follow in the path
of every preceding civilization, or rush into
anarchy and ruin"

The First of the Drumners.

Daniel R. Wolff, of Chambersburg, says
he is the first commercial traveller who ever
went on the road. In 1874 he went to
Philadelphia as a salesman with the dry
goods house of Dunton, Gemmill & Co.
f'Trade was dull that year" says Mr. Wolff,
"and 1 suggested to the firm the idea of
sending someone out among the country
merchants to drum up trade
"'Who will be the drummer asked one
of the firm.
''I will, replied, and they sent me- out
That was the origin of the term drummer,
by which all travelling statesmen are now
known. 1 went on the road and solicited
trade among the merchants of southern and
central Pennsylvania and New Jersey. For
FIVE years l carried no samples, filling my
customers orders from samples provided by
themselves In 1S49 it struck me all of a
sudden that this was necessarily keeping my
trade limited, and that if [ carried line of
samples of my own 1 could introduce new
goods and more of them. l sent to the firm
and showed them that the samples we're COM
ing from the wrong end of the line, and they
saw the point and furnished me with sam
pies. From that year dates the custom of
carrying samples by drummers."
Mr.. Wolff has been constantly on the road
ever since his pioneer trip among the coun-
try merchants, and at the age of nearly sew
enty is still drumming up trade for Phila-
delphia house.

TRICK OF ssTICKLING" TROUT

| Process Well known Among tho
Boys of IreIand-Its Success.
From the San Francisco Examnsr1
''I was astouished to learn by Mr. Thorn
dykes statement that the bears on the
shores of Carbon river, at the base of the
precipitous Mount Trcoma, have mastered
the process of catching the hook nosed SAL
mon by the art of 'ftickling,'" said gen.
tleman who was born on the Emerald isle,
aud is proud of it. F'I wonder whether the
boys in Ireland taught it to them or learned it
from them? know when l was youngster
we Irish lads carried on the sport to extent
that led the game-keepers to suspect that there
were more and shrewder poachers in that part
of the country than had ever been bounded
out of it; but they never suspected that the
| ragged, barefooted boy, who whistled as he
plucked the blackberries from the hedges, and
would have been familiar with the mari
ner's compass, had it been placed before him,
as with trout rod, creek reel line and cast of
flies, was one of the llcenseless culprits who
caused the scarcity of trout.
''Yet so it was. When the keeper was well
out of sight the small boy would throw away
the blackberries which he had collected, but
did not care to eat, and knowing by long ex
perience where the big speckled fellows loved
to lurk, he would dart to deep still spot,
well shaded, and where the bank overhung
the water. Then, crawling to the edge, he
would look cautiously over. If a trout
basking near the surface the dirty little hand,
making perceptible ripple in the stream,
so carefully was it put in, soon under it.
The fingers were then raised until, with al
most incredible gentleness, their points
touched the trouts stomach when slight
oscillation was commenced. This was the
tickling part Of the vancouver. The boys
thought the trout enjoyed it, but perhaps
they supposed that it was only the weeds
softly brushing them. Anyhow it rarely dis
turbed them, and the hand gradually
sumed surcr position until, with dexterous
movement, swift as the lightning flash, the
fish cast out of the water, generally on
the opposite bank The probability is that
the trout so captured is asleep, and, though
its eyes are of course open, it can see moth
ing.
II have often caught two dozen fine trout
in day after this fashion, and all the time
kept bright lookout that / was not caught
myself; and while was tickling them was
carefully avoiding sportsmen who, not far
away, were fruitlessly whipping the stream.
''The bear seems to capture his prey, as
il were, by main strength. He just puts
his claw under the fish and casts it out.
The hook nosed salmon must be stupid
fellow to be SO easily taken The Irish
boy has to he more artistic, so perhaps he
taught the mode of fishing to the bears"
